Is This The Easiest Ceramic Coating You Will Ever Apply? Let's Find Out!! Dr Beasley's Formula 1201!

[@videomaniac108]

It's a joy to watch somebody with your knowledge, skill and passion doing such beautiful work on these cars.

[@jdisdetermined]

*Brain* ?? 😲😲 😁👍✌

[@joevanseeters2873]

Fantastic video Brian. I've been wanting to try the Dr. Beasley's Formula 1201 for some time now but have been hesitant. I'll be buying some of this tomorrow most likely along with the primer product as well. I also love the fact that you showed that wet sanding can also be done, quite easily, with a DA polisher and some trizact discs with minimal experience as long as you follow some basic steps and take you time doing it and don't go all crazy with it, achieving stunning results and like you said, with much less effort than trying to polish off the dead paint and clogging up you pads with the same dead paint. Really great video and very informative. Thank you sir.

[@visi5649]

No cure time!!! That is huge ... great video

[@TheSwitzAutomotive]

I stock pile products... but only those that I know I will use eventually and can last the shelf life. For example, I talk about how I buy 5 years worth of motor oil and filters when on sale. And every drop of oil I've ever bought I've used. Keep up the great videos!

[@jtks4490]

For an easy to apply ceramic coating I'd highly recommend looking at Wolfgangs Uber Ceramic Spray Coating. I applied it a couple weeks ago to a prepped car (2 coats). Extremely easy on and off. Similar experience to Meguiar's Fast Finish. Supposed to last a year as well. We'll see...

[@qmoonwalker3847]

Wow! What a change. How would this product do over an existing ceramic coating? Thanks Brian.

[@danpozzobon125]

Great video Brian, thank you and especially your advice about not making impulsive purchases

Thanks Brian, I’ve been waiting for you to review this product. I have a client who only wants a 1 year protection and I have this product. I am looking forward to applying it and seeing the results.

[@bobdylan9117]

your wife is not "your client"...

[@TripleGAutoDetailing]

WoW... Only an impressive grade. Expected at least one higher. I don't have the luxury of working in garage so no cure time containers get my attention. Unfortunately i had to cancel a job today since its snowing 😩. Thanks Brian. Stay well and keep these informative videos coming.

[@a-aronsmith7054]

Thank you for taking the time to make such an informative video. Dont mind a longer video at all from you sir.

[@olgai.menendez9493]

Awesome info.! Very easy to apply. Good to know about products like this.

[@renelord4819]

Paint thickness measure please! You always teach us to take care of the clear coat. Starting with a very oxide paint like this one and using a sanding paper, I am very interested to know of how much clear coat this correction cost? Your unwavering student from QUÉBEC, thank you sir

[@henryfreeman6113]

He starts off a basic enhancement at $500+ I’m pretty sure

[@apexdetail85]

0.21 miles were remove during the process.

[@renelord4819]

Apex Detail , thank you...I thought that you took more than that.

[@johnboyjr21]

Damn I got SO happy when you said Dr. Beasley's bc I asked about their resin pro before and rn it's no. 1 on my list of new coatings to try but I would benefit from a vid from you. Either way, their 1201 is pretty revolutionary from what I heard and definitely a good product to showcase! Also great to see the NSP again!!!

[@1keykneedeep]

Wow. The Doctor has the cure. Nice work

[@cruikshank]

Thank you for this awesome review / how to guide. This is a coating I’ve been considering as a hobbyist. The Mike Phillips Autogeek ads are what first got me interested.

[@visi5649]

My ceramic coating is a few years old so after watching this video I thought I’d give 1201 a try due to ease of application. I have a bottle of Kamikaze Collection Miyabi coat on standby but as this is effectively a ceramic light coating as it’s a 12 month coating I thought what the hell. Nothing to lose. I’ve corrected the vehicle with CarPro ClearCUT and used CarPro Essence as a polish/Primer to help 1201 with longevity so it’ll be interesting to see how long it lasts with regular top ups with CarPro ReLoad 👍🏽🚗

[@chrismurphy783]

Very interested in this one. Looking forward to the polisher review. Thanks B!

[@bobit8742]

I love this channel, it is so informative and therapeutic

[@stefanpuffer]

Beautiful work Brian. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and good advice.

[@user-kp6ld8qg6w]

So do you prefer a ceramic coating over Ceramic spray? It seams a Ceramic spray would be more cost-effective but doesn't last as long. If you're just a weekend detailer

[@batmon26]

ceramic sprays r definitely easier to use and more of a beginner thing. but they work great while they last, just like spray sealants. if u dont like to devote alot of time to your personal vehicle, then its definitely a good option

[@jdisdetermined]

Oh my word.. now that paint is *hammered* man! Especially given its relatively young age! Where did it live, the Dead Sea? 😁 Paint like that, and the satisfaction of bringing it back to life, is the reason I got hooked on paint correction. The worse it is, the more rewarding the turnaround. Thanks Brian, I'm sure you couldn't wait to get going on that one and had a blast! 👍👌✌

[@edwardbodenmiller6846]

Another great video Brian. If you use the Dr Beasley’s 95 but can’t get to the coating until the next day what would you advise using to wipe down the vehicle with before applying the coating without harming the 95’s ability to work as the base properly

[@josebracero4050]

Would like to know if that product last a year? How has it held up after the application? Have been wanting to buy it, but have been wanting to se about it's durability through out the year. I know it depends on climate and other factors, but some products do last. It's all about testing them out. That's what I've been wanting for, to see if it last a year.

[@oldschoolrichierich4670]

Excellent review Brian you make it all look easy

[@davidm9725]

Big fan of all old trucks but love chevy’s. Any details on the truck at your shop in the last vette video?

[@eamonkelly2792]

Great video Brian as always and very informative, that hood looked trashed before you worked on it. The formula 1201 looks so easy to put on iam going to try it on my car soon, thanks again and stay safe and well 👌👌👌

[@FrankTheReaper]

Hey Brian, what's the water behavior like on this product. Is it like a true ceramic coating?

[@louisgarofalo3355]

I have an honest question, Im with you 100 percent when it comes to "time is money" I learned paint correction with a 15 es rupes, not the most powerful but it got the job done. After much research i didn't see the value in buying a mark 3 21 for the additional power when i could spend a fraction and go rotary and be even faster on the heavier jobs. Long story short, i learned the rotary and i very rarely find myself looking for the rupes anymore. Can you shed some light as to why you chose to use a dual action when its painfully slower than using a rotary and finishing the light polish at the end with the d.a.? Great info, love your page, just want to know if theres something im missing.

[@fastmonaro05]

I have a shine mate 12mm RO and they are really impressive.

[@M6transam]

So after using these primer polishes you can go straight into the coating process? No need to let the primer polish cure? Just wipe off and then coat immediately after?

[@keithfirebird7618]

Wow......big difference....looks great

[@ExclusiveTint-CarDetailing]

Always great information, I love my 12mm shine mate here in Australia.

[@walenrod17]

Did you test that zero cure time? I mean did some care go immediately to a messy water and it still performs great?

[@danmorrissette4814]

Wow~! when i saw that BMW on Facebook earlier, i was sure that you had wet sanded it!! Oxydation!! crazy, looked like a single stage car or boat ! Thats Awesome no cure time!!!!!!!!!! You're the Best!~

Brian, you often like to do two coats on products, did you do that on this BMW?

[@davidspencer2333]

Another excellent job Brian, with excellent explanation along the way! Yours is by far the best detailing channel on You Tube. What good value 2-3" orbital polisher do you recommend for the DIY detailer? I have a Griot's G9 for 5-6" pads, but I am looking for a smaller unit for tight spots. I was looking at the G8, but thought you may have another good value consideration? Thanks.

[@seansean8008]

I enjoy learning from you- you are an artist. Keep it up !

[@jimenglebrecht7955]

Great video and information. Looks like a great product for home enthusiasts 👍

[@davidm9725]

How long do you have to neglect the car to get that kind of oxidation? And how come the adjacent panels aren’t bad

[@markieell5614]

Brian , enjoy all your content I am going to try DA polishing on an Old car I have obviously cleaned & decontaminated just wondered what basic DA you would recommend & products to try , many thanks mark ,, 🇬🇧🍺👍🏻

[@danh8869]

You do such awesome work. So professional too. I am having a similar issue, have an Army Jeep that was painted recently and have oxidation coming through. It appears it was a single stage flat olive green paint. What could cause the oxidation look as it has not been in the sun and took a couple of months to show up after being painted.

Huge difference compared to previous state of the paint, but there is still a lot of hazing post ceramic coating application.

Does this need to be applied on the car under shelter inside or can it be applied outside?

have you tried and other pre prep products with this coating?

[@batmon26]

brian do you use car bombs? I've tried extremes but the smell doesnt do it for me, just tried turtle wax-x bomb out and I loved the smell. had another company reach out to me bio-bomb but I wasnt to impressed with there product. I do have a extractor in the shop but ehh that can be time consuming and try to only use it on heavily stained vehicles, as to smoked vehicles. my gm wont let put a ionizer on the company card. also do you have any brands u recommend for under carriage attachments

[@bruceiler9399]

Brian another great video ... have u tried looking at The Last Coat Black Ice yet ??? Would love your thoughts on it .... Thanks again!

[@alanwallace3253]

Saw the car on FB earlier, wonderful turnaround, was impressed with the wet sanding first, do you any idea how much clear was removed with sanding and polishing, and the time it took to sand, polish and coat, ( I’m sure you did other decontamination and washing off camera) . Just trying to get an idea of the time. My point is looks like it might doable in one work day.

Thank you for the video Brian! When doing a full correction, going from the compounding step to the polishing step, should you do a panel prep, such as eraser, before going into the polishing or not necessary? Thx

[@Piglet6256]

Brian, I don't know what package the customer asked for and the desired end result, but my question is if you could get even a better finish if you would use a finishing pad and go over the area ones more after the 50/50 pad? I notice you don't and I wonder therefor if its a waste of time since you can't improve the clear any further or that it's not what the customer wants? I hope that makes sense? Excellent video, informative, clear, interesting and satisfying to see that poor clear shine once again :) Take care and can't wait for the next video!

[@apexdetail85]

Piglet6256 makes perfect sense. So.. you don’t want to disturb the resin you just payed down with the NSP. Leave that foundation to bond with the coating.

[@holybusiness9624]

WOW. How much time did you spend on that panel? Always doing what perfectionists do. Love it! 🔥❤️

[@brianallen0826]

I wonder if that hood has been refinished because its been a long time since I've seen OEM clear-coat oxidize like that, and considering only the hood did it...since the roof or deck lid are not mentioned, I assume they are fine

[@apexdetail85]

brianallen0826 yup.. the hood was poorly refinished.

[@brianallen0826]

When I first started watching, I immediately thought about my black 1989 Firebird Formula and then my black 1991 Firebird Formula...both cars had the hoods turn gray/grey (only the teardrop hood buldge though), top of both front and rear bumper covers also turned gray/grey.. due to complete UV INHIBITOR failure in the factory applied clear-coats. I had people tell me the clear-coat failure was my fault, due to lack of maintenance of wax...lol. One dude told me I had no business having a black car and that Meguiar's #26 Yellow Carnuba wax would have prevented the sun from eating the finish....I hadn't 🤣 that hard in a long time, right to his face too! I said, "Sorry chief, these cars are in my climate controlled home garage all week and come out on weekends between late May to early November. Oh, and by the way...#26 will last a couple days in the hot summer sun, being that it's just carnuba...then I proceeded to explain that carnuba is to make the finish look beautiful and offers very little in protection once it begins to melt in the sun".

[@jeremys8360]

In relation to your other video on the meguiars ceramic layering, could you test ceramic liquid, then ceramic wax, and then ceramic detailer
